in true CCP fashion this would really spice up FW...

make teamkillers PURPLE.

purple dots can be legally killed by both sides for points.

I don't want to iron out the details of how a merc becomes purple, but the general idea is if you kill or destroy team deployables at a certain point instead of getting lolbanned you turn purple and become a target to everyone.
do this to often in to many different matches you stay purple in all matches until you redeem yourself.


thank you, I know this is a genius idea....

I say purple because red and blue make purple.... so if your a blue doing red things you should be purple... get it?

Two "punished" teamkills to be turned purple for the remainder of the current battle.
Four punished teamkills to be turned purple until the next downtime.

Seven punished teamkills within 3 days to be turned purple for a period of 3 days starting from the next server downtime.
Ten punished teamkills within 3 days to be turned purple for a period of 7 days from the next downtime.

5,000 FF damage in a single day should turn you purple for the remainder of the current match. 7,000 in a single day should flag you until the next downtime. 10,000 in a single day or 20,000 over 3 days should flag you for 3 days. 50,000 FF damage in 3 days should flag you as purple for a week.

Purple players can spawn on default spawns and uplinks, NOT on objectives or CRUs.

Purple players should also ONLY be flagged as purple when working for the specific faction they were TKing, in order to avoid punishing players for sabotaging their rivals, which should be seen as a legitimate tactic.

If you manage to "accidentally" take out 7 players with Orbital Strikes AND they all choose to punish you, then you didn't communicate your intentions very well.

if you manage to deal over 10,000 FF damage in a single day, you're obviously doing something wrong.

NOTE: This is assuming they fix the stupid issues with "dealing" FF damage while being run over by a friendly tank in your LAV, and where blowing up your REs counts as you killing them, etc.

you seem to be getting the numbers THREE and SEVEN mixed up...

personally I don't think bans should exist at all... I think it goes against the kind of environment ccp is trying to create and has created in eve.

just like in eve, this mechanic in dust wouldn't be a life long sentence... you could work off your negative staus in some way, so if it happened by accident you could redeem yourself.... but lets face it, a few kills here or there is a mistake.... a few kills every match isn't.... if it is... then you really need to improve and should still be flagged as a free for all target as incentive to improve.
